When will this shit end? I'm so tired of hearing about them pulling this shit every two years. You can alienate me all you want, but don't fuck with my internet access porky!
Verizon releases statement over net neutrality repeal

Our legislature is so fucking disgusting with the way they slap the word freedom on every goddamn thing they do. It's not even necessary as a tool of propaganda because it isn't as though hardly any proles read their shit anyway.
Jason Campbell
Well I mean it is restoring "freedom" for porky (i.e. the ability to increase profits without interference from government.)
Jacob Jones
You know you need to stop this when this guy now supports the change:

Tyler Cowen is the author of Creative Destruction ("Globalization is a GOOD pain"), In Praise of Commercial Culture, Discover your Inner Economist, The Great Stagnation ("Don't worry the US economy just caught a cold"), Average Is Over ("Time to pull yourselves up by the boostraps, unemployable people") and the Complacent Class ("If you're not a millionaire by the age of 30 it's because you're a lazy entitled shit.")
He's a libertarian so he supported Net Neutrality a decade ago based on the typical anti-statist anti-monopoly arguments. Not anymore: he has decided the "benefits" of abolish net neutrality now overcome the risks. Be very afraid.
Charles Jenkins
He's going to get the bat.

It is, objectively speaking, probably time for a little less carrot and a little more stick.
Which only stopped because ISPs were throttling and pulling other abuses.

There are some anti-capitalist sentiments here, could this be the straw that breaks the camel's back?
THe one that really struck me "Well basically at this point the government and corporations are working together, there is no real difference".
Gavin Price
This. Internet should be handled at the municipal level as a utility. In terms of networking that makes the most sense by far.
The actual statement is a clusterfuck as well. They say they support Net Neutrality but they also say they support Ajit Pai and lifting regulations. It's designed to be incomprehensible to turn people off thinking about it.
